    I hate it when some people act like they know something when they don't

    Some people, posters here or media speculators out there, act like they know some inside information and make comments like "so and so won't be there, believe me" or "I know this and that is going to happen, can't tell you how I know".

    Please. None of us know, even if we have heard it from some "insider" dropping some hints, doesn't mean crap. No one is "leaking" anything real because no one knows. Only a handful of people do and those handful of people are highly paid and way up there in the organization. If they "leak" it it's because they want people to talk about it, not what really is going to happen. It's all mind games and your "insiders" are all just pawns.

    So please spare us the "I know something you don't know" nonsense. Until Thursday, we're all just guessing.

      And anyone who supposedly "knows" because they have watched a bunch of drafts is only slightly less full of crap... me included.

      Give a guess, make a prediction, but realize you are very likely to be wrong.

      And if you do end up being right, you don't really get an award.

          Sorry, you're right.

          When I say "X won't be there," I mean "I think it's highly unlikely X will be available, so I would have a strong contingency plan already in place for when that pick comes up."

          I'm usually posting from my phone, though, and it would be a pain to type all that out. My bad.

          I hope I've never given the impression that I think I have any insider information. I have none.

              What the hell else do you want people to talk about? It is a friggin' message board, it is where blowhards go to be heard.

              What do you expect?

                I think you just described almost everyone here. My favorite is when they throw in a term like "technique", LOL.

                  I've heard from a good source that Denver will be trading out of the #2 spot with either Washington or Tennessee and they will be drafting Gabbert. Which would leave Dareus available when the Bills select.

                    Sources have told me that relatively anonymous people on message boards say pretty much whatever they want, and will continue to do so despite complaints.

                      I'm hearing that may in fact be the case.

                          My inside source can confirm that what you are hearing about what psubills62 is hearing is almost a definite possible likelihood.

                              My inside source which I consider very solid tells me that everyone is full of crap.
